Heil with a JBL Woofer part 2 Back wave attenuation for best in room balance.
Has anyone tried any attenuation of the back wave?? I was just listening to a live recording and was impressed with how well the venue ambiance came through. That said on non live recordings I also get a sense of space but it seems the focus is less clear compared to either the F 206's or my horn systems.
I have been playing the the idea of trying to turn down the back wave just using some fiberglass batting to see if I can dial them in better. The goal is to increase focus but not loose the sense of space. I don't want to do an enclosure because of the potential of reflections back through the diaphragm just like putting a woofer in a box.
Anyone else try this?? I am going to give it a shot too see what happens.
